Missed Giving Day 2021? You Can Still Give, Click Here!

This is for Now. This is for Ever. This is for Student Affairs.

Student Affairs serves a diverse student body and provides many of the services that help the university produce well-rounded graduates who are prepared to make contributions to humankind. Today, you can further enhance the “Ole Miss experience” for our students and invest in future leaders. Your gift will help Ole Miss students be their best by supporting services that ensure a safe, healthy, and nurturing campus environment where students can launch their careers and sharpen their leadership skills. 

Providing our students exceptional opportunities requires tremendous resources. State funding accounts for only 12.9 percent of our university’s operating revenues. Strong private support from alumni and friends is crucial to our continued growth. We want our graduates to be leaders, innovators, and agents of change.

Your gift goes further on Giving Day! Several members of the Ole Miss Family are challenging you to make a difference in the lives of students. Maximize your impact by answering these challenges and helping us unlock critical resources. Your gift - no matter the size - makes a difference.

It’s easy to give! Ole Miss Giving Day accepts Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and all major credit cards.
